SUNRISE to SUNDOWN by the SEA


 Cato's shoreline during low tide is inviting. It offers breathtaking sights- calm, blue water, small ripples of waves that come and go, fine sand with busy "tarrukoy" running around and digging holes.











High tide or low tide, this grey shoreline has remain steadfast where these boats can lay secure while awaiting time for sailing.



    It offers a place for contemplation or small gathering where onlookers would  hope to catch activities or   person that may interest them.





 
 
Mil-ling is still up and about walking from "a-way" to "bay-bay"  




                   Children are blessed with a clean and natural playground.
                It reminds me of my childhood energy that seems inexhaustible.


               Nature belongs to man and man belongs to nature, indeed!
                  "Baybay" is these childrens' haven, a playground where
               they experience life at its best.






              This place has much treasured memories from the time of the
                                         early "apongs" of this barrio up until now.



                              Boat ride at daytime


Breathtaking sunset one can't miss!
